2005 Closing CeremonyTwo hundred of Southwark's  brightest young sporting stars gathered at the Ministry of Sound for an awards ceremony to mark the end of the second year of the Southwark Community Games.
Sporting heroes presented awards to the eight to 16 year olds for their achievements in sports ranging from cricket to dragonboat racing.
West Ham footballer Anton Ferdinand joined England women's rugby stars Helen Clayton and Karen Andrews on stage on Wednesday November 30 2005 to make the presentations.
DJ and BMX coach, CK Flash, compered the ceremony in which Camberwell picked up the Community Council cup for winning this year's games. Walworth, which won the cup last year, were the runners up with Peckham in third place.
Azeez Soetan from Townsend Primary in Walworth won the Champion of 
Champions Cup, donated by Cllr Columba Blango, for his sporting achievements during this year's tournament. Cups were also awarded to the champion of each of the eight community council areas.
Cllr Columba Blango, Southwark Council's executive member for sport, said: "It has been another exceptional year for sport in Southwark. I'd like to congratulate every young person who took part.
"Through the community games, I hope that many more young people will be encouraged to take part in sports which could take them all the way to the London 2012 Olympics."
